Dear A6ministrative Judges:
Subject:
In the Matter of Texas Utilities Electric Company, g g.
Request for an Operating License for Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-445 and 50-446 O Design-Related Pot'ential 10 CFR 50.55(e) Items In accordance with the Board's desires to be kept up-to-date on matters of potential significance, CASE is attaching copies of selected potential 50.55(e) notifications for the Board's review.
We realize that the Board has been provided in Applicants' Progress Reports with listings of recent potential 10 CFR 50.55(e) items which have been reported by Applicants.to NRC Region IV as required by NRC regulations.
However, the listings do not give much detail as to what the concerns are.
In reviewing the quantity and type of potential 50.55(e) items received
.recently, we have come to the conclusion that it might be helpful to the Board to have copies of the actual notifications, which give significantly more details than are indicated by the listings alone.
It should be noted that these are only for about the past year or so; further, they are only selected notifications which either definitely are related to design or which appear to have some design implications (i.e., we have not included those which are strictly construction-related). These are not necessarily even all of the design-related potential 50.55(e)'s/SDAR's (Significant Deficiency Analysis Reports), but we believe should be sufficient to give the Board a better understanding of the number and magnitude of the problems being identified regarding design / design OA.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On June 4,1984, we verbally notified your Mr. D. Hunnicutt of a deficiency involving the environmental qualification of equipment outside containment for high energy line breaks (HELB). This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under. provisions of 10CFR50.55(e). Our most recent interim report was logged TXX-5029, dated September 19, 1986.
The remaining qualification issue yet to be resolved is a comparison of the cable temperatures in the area of concern to the existing established qualified temperatures. After identifying cable types and locations, a.
thermal transient analysis will be performed to determine the temperatures to which the outer cable layer is exposed. These temperatures will be used to determine if the ambient temperature will exceed the cables' qualified environmental temperature.
Current project scheduling indicates our evaluation will be completed by December 1, 1986.

This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under provisions of 10CFR50.55(e). Our most recent interim report was logged TXX-4912, dated July 16, 1986.
The course of our evaluation has included the plant specific application of the unreviewed safety question investigated by the Westinghouse Owners Group involving the thermal analysis of the environment, and the effects of superheated steam on the operability and qualification of Class 1E components.
Currently, these efforts have been completed with the exception of an analysis to determine the cable sheath temperature inside conduits in the break compartments during the line break scenario. A schedule for completion of this analysis is expected October 3, 1986.
We are continuing our evaluation of this issue and anticipate submitting nur next report by October 24, 1986.

COMANCHE' PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION (CPSES)
DOCKET NOS. 50-445 AND 50-446 CONDUIT SUPPORT SPANS SDAR: CP-85-19 (INTERIM REPORT)
Dear Mr. Johnson:
On May 15, 1985, we verbally notified your Mr. D. Hunnicutt of a deficiency regarding the use of a nonrepresentative sample in determining generic values for typical conduit span calculations. Our most recent interim report was logged TXX-4804, dated May 16, 1986. We are reporting this issue under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e) and the required information follows.
DESCRIPTION The seismic conduits and conduit supports at CPSES are segregated into Trains A, B and C. Conduit supports on Trains A and B are safety related. Train C conduit supports are considered to be non-safety related with the following exceptions:
- Unit 2, Train C conduits which are larger than 2 inches in diameter and their conduit supports are seismically designed with the same requirements as Trains A and B.
- Unit 1, supports on Train C conduits which are over 2 inches in diameter are grouped into three categories: 1) seismically designed, 2) seismically restrained with aircraft cables, and 3) non-seismically designed. This issue addresses the conduits which are seismically supported or restrained.
Seismic conduit and support design is governed by two documents: the S-0910 design package for Unit I and Common areas, and the S2-0910 design package for Unit 2. These documents describe various types of " engineered" and " generic" supports along with the allowable conduit spans. Supports deviating from generic support criteria are ' identified as either " Modified" or " Individually Engineered".(IN) supports.
External Design Reviews identified a specific concern questioning the yield stress tests used to justify the conduit span calculations for Units 1 and 2.
This issue is addressed as CPRT Program Plan Item DSAP VIII. A comprehensive reverification plan has been implemented in order to resolve these concerns.

~
TXX-6046 October 21, 1986 l Page 2 of 2 )
Results of this verification to date indicate that a number of supports in Unit I have reduced capacities for certain elevations and buildings.
Moreover, certain extreme span configurations may cause overstressing of the conduit and overloading of supports. Evaluations of conduit support spans in Unit 2 are in progress.
SAFETY IMPLICATIONS Failure of seismic category conduits and conduit supports to meet the design criteria could result in an inability of associated safety related systems to perform as required for safe operation and shutdown.
i CORRECTIVE ACTION For Unit 1, field verifications and subsequent engineering evaluations are.
continuing. Formulation of corrective actions resulting from this evaluation will be complete by February 17, 1987.
For Unit 2, a complete design verification of the S2-2910 design package is being conducted. This design verification and tha preparation and verification of the isometric drawing packages is contingent upon Project schedules which are currently being redefined.
We anticipate submitting our next report by March 10, 1987.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On July 19, 1985, we verbally notified your Mr. D. Powell of a deficiency
.regarding the Unit I steam generator upper lateral restraint embedment design.
- This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e). Our last interim report was logged TXX-4961 dated August 18, 1986.
The scope of this issue has been expanded in order to analyze the steam generator upper lateral restraint embedments based on revised loadings on the beams and their connections. These revised loadings are a result of a design bounding assumption that the Steam Generator compartment platforms are considered removed. Prior designs were based upon attenuation of pressure loadings in the upper compartment regions due to the restricting effects of compartment platforms located in the vent paths.
j We anticipate submitting our next report on this issue no later than December 3, 1986.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
4
, On August 27, 1985, we verbally notified your Mr. D. Hunnicutt of a deficiency involving the impact on the electrical raceway support system due to additional weight imposed by the installation of Separation Barrier Material (SBM) and Radiant Energy Shield (RES) Material on Unit I electrical conduit raceways without complete interdisciplinary review and design analysis. This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e). Our latest interim report, logged TXX-4883, was submitted on June 27, 1986.
The scope of this issue is limited to Unit 1 Electrical Conduit Raceways. The impact of SBN weights imposed on Unit 1 Cable Tray Hanger (CTH) Systems is being evaluated as part of the overall CTH design verification activities addressed by SDAR-CP-85-35, Cable Tray Hanger Design.
SBM and RES material were installed on Unit 1, Class lE electrical raceways consistent with the FSAR and Regulatory Guide 1.75, Revision 1. The engineering evaluation, prior to SBN t.nd RES material installation, did not i consider the additional weight imposed by these materials.
Although this concern is not a specific CPRT program plan item, the evaluation and disposition of this issue is being formulated in the course of the
- civil / structural design verification program outlined in CPRT Program Plan Item, DSAP VIII.
Failure of seismic category conduits and conduit supports to meet the required design criteria could result in an inability of associated safety-related systems to perform as required for safe operation and shut down.

October 20, 1986 Page 2 Currently, we have identified the conduit raceways affected by the ,
installation of RES material. Our identification of the raceway population '
affected by the presence of SBN is incomplete. The evaluations completed to !
date indicate the conduit and supports are adequate when considering the additior.al weight imposed by the protective materials.
Based on the project schedule for these engineering activities, we anticipate submitting our next report by December 5, 1986.

DOCKET NOS. 50-445 CONDUIT SUPPORT DESIGN SDAR: CP-85-34 (INTERIM REPORT)
Dear Mr. Johnson:
On September 6,1985, we verbally notified your Mr. C. Gould of a deficiency involving the adequacy of conduit supports to perform their intended design functions. Our latest interim report, logged TXX-4805, was submitted on May 16, 1986. We are reporting this issue under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e) and the required information follows.
DESCRIPTION The seismic conduits and conduit supports at CPSES, Unit 1, are segregated i into Trains A, B and C. Conduit supports on Trains A and B are Seismic Category I. Train C conduit supports are non-seismic except for conduits larger than 2 inches in diameter and those supports which are Seismic Category II and either seismically designed or seismically restrained with aircraft cables. Non-seismic designed conduits are not within the scope of this issue.
Seismic conduit and support design is governed by design package S-0910 for r Unit I and Common areas. This document describes various types of l " engineered" and " generic" supports and allowable conduit spans. Supports l deviating from generic support criteria are identified as " Modified" or j " Individually Engineered" (IN) supports. These conduit supports were initially installed as field run systems supported in accordance with Gibbs &
Hill Drawing 2323-S-0910.
l The S-0910 design package was generated in general conformance with industry practices. However, a number of potential design concerns related to conduit supports have been identified through' external design review. These reviews resulted in several concerns regarding the adequacy of the conduit supports to perform design functions. In order to resolve these issues a 100%
verification of the conduit system design is being conducted in accordance
( with CPRT Program Plan Item DSAP VIII.
I
TXX-6047 October 21, 1986 Page 2 of 2 SAFETY IMPLICATIONS Failure of seismically designed conduits and conduit supports to meet the design criteria could result in an inability of associated safety-related systems to perform as required for safe operation and shutdown.
i l
, CORRECTIVE ACTION :
! The identification and as-built configuration of conduit and conduit supports affected by the revised design criteria of S-0910 is currently ~being established through field verification. Demonstration of the adequacy of, or alternatively, identification of configurations requiring further study or modification is being accomplished through analysis of the field verification data.
Unistrut and transverse supports have been examined differently than in the i
above mentioned verification activity. For Unistrut supports, a Unistrut Test Program was implemented to determine the adequacy of Unistrut supports with regard to torsional loading'. Any Unistrut support determined from test to have capacities below those given in the original S-0910 package or not tested -
will be replaced or will be demonstrated to be not needed. All transverse supports will either be converted to multidirectional supports or will be demonstrated to be not needed.
l Completion of these programs is currently scheduled for February 2,1986. We anticipate submitting our next report by February 27, 1987.

DOCKET NO. 50-445 AND 50-446 CABLE TRAY HANGER DESIGN !
SDAR: CP-85-35 (INTERIM REPORT)-
Dear Mr. Johnson:
On September 6,1985, we verbally notified your Mr. C. Gould of a deficiency involving the design and construction activities of the cable tray hanger program. Our latest report, logged TXX-4884, was submitted on June 27, 1986.
We are reporting this issue under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e) and the required information follows.
DESCRIPTION j Cable tray supports were originally installed in accordance with general 1 criteria including standard support designs and associated guidelines based on !
tray configurations, loads, and span lengths. The criteria were based on equivalent ste:i: analysis methods for assessing seismic loads. Where field l conditions preciuded the application of standard designs, design changes were i
. reviewed, approved, and issued as qualified specific support designs.
As a result of design and construction related concerns raised by external-sources, EBASCO and IMPELL have been directed to perform a 100% verification of the cable tray system design. These design activities are being conducted in accordance with CPRT Program Plan Item DSAP VIII, which includes third-party overview to assure resolution of the issues and compliance to licensing commitments.
Evaluation of this issue has progressed to the stage that modifications of some supports are. required to meet the FSAR criteria. Since the program implements required modifications, no evaluation has been performed of the safety consequences had these potential deficiencies remained undetected.
This item is applicable to Units 1 and 2.
SAFETY IMPLICATIONS Failure of seismic category cable tray supports to meet the required design criteria could result in an inability of associated safety-related systems to perform as required for safe operation and shutdown.

- _ - - . _ . _ .- - _. - .- . _ - _ _ _ . - _\
TXX-6048 October 210 1986 Page 2 of 3 CORRECTIVE ACTION The verification program is being implemented for Units I and 2. The primary difference between the two units is related to the inaccessibility of. hardware for Unit I due to the advanced state of construction.
For Unit 1, a number of the support design attributes are inaccessible as a result of congestion or the presence of fire protection material. Our approach in the development of these as-built drawings is as follows:
0 As-designed drawings have been developed for each support. These drawings are based on the original design and include design changes generated in the construction / design process.
O Field walkdowns have been performed using the as-designed drawing.
For all accessible supports and accessible portions of partially inaccessible supports, as-built conditions were confirmed or noted as different on the as-designed drawing. Final as-built drawings were produced specifically noting any items within the scope of the walkdown that were inaccessible. Quality Control verification of as-built drawings is currently in process.
O Span sketches (noting span lengths) have been developed based on field inspections of Unit I supports.
For Unit 2, where almost all attributes are accessible, as-built verification is being accomplished by direct field inspection of design attributes and the production of as-built drawings for each support.
Unit 2 design verification is performed using maximum cable tray fill weights, and conservative assumptions regarding the weight of fire protection material.
The equivalent static analysis method is typically used to determine support loads. The response spectrum method is being used to justify limiting the scope of modifications that would be difficult to implement in a congested environment.
Design verification based on as-built conditions is currently in process. The basis for' design review of inaccessible items for Units I and 2 has been addressed and documented in specific studies or reports.
For both units, loading combinations and stress limits are checked in accordance with acceptance criteria which conforms to CPSES licensing commitments.
A testing program has been established to augment the cable tray support verification effort. -The testing program is anticipated to be complete in November, 1986. Evaluation of the test results should be performed by late December, 1986.
. TXX-6048 October 21, 1986 Page 3 of 3 The design verification program addresses all cable tray support issues in an integrated manner. It will confirm that the design criteria is met or result in modifications to conform with design criteria. A number of modifications (approximately 800 hangers) have .already been implemented in Unit 2 and a significantly lesser amount of hangers in Unit 1 have been identified as requiring potential modifications. To achieve qualification, all modifications will be inspected for as-built conditions and the design will be verified.
Based on the projected schedules for testing and engineering evaluations, it is anticipated that our.next report will be submitted by January 30, 1987.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On September 6,1986, we verbally notified your Mr. C. Gould of a deficiency involving the installation of non-safety related conduit (two-inch diameter.
and smaller) on non-safety related dead weight supports in Category 1 areas.
This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e). Our most recent interim report was logged TXX-4974, dated August 22, 1986. We received an extension until October 3, 1986, frc:n your Mr. T. Westerman for submitting this report.
This issue is being evaluated by Impell under.CPRT Program Plan ISAP I.c.
Field verifications are currently in progress to verify the adequacy of these Train C conduit supports. Impell Corporation has developed a multilevel screening process which is being implemented to qualify all supports for seismic loads or to verify that adverse interactions with safety-related features do not occur. For supports that cannot be verified as acceptable for seismic loads, one of several rework options may be employed. These rework I options are to modify the support, reroute the conduit, or provide seismic restraints, t This program is currently underway for Unit I and Common Area. Approximately 35,000 conduit supports have been deemed acceptable for sei:mic loading, representing approximately one-half of the supports in Unit I and Common Area.
To date, the evaluation of 40 rooms has been completed and no safety hazards have been identified. This represents approximately 15 percent of the rooms in Unit 1 and Common.
This evaluation is currently scheduled for completion during the second quarter of 1987. We anticipate submitting our next report on this issue no later than January 21, 1987.

ATTACHMENT FLUX MAPPING SEAL TABLE RESTRAINTS DESCRIPTION The NSSS Supplier (Westinghouse) has advised of a possible system interaction involving the Flux Mapping System (FMS) and the Seal Table / Bottom-Mounted Instrumentation. Specifically, portions of the FMS which are designed and fabricated non-safety related are located directly above the seal table. The seal table.is the pressure boundary. Failure of non-safety portions of the FMS or parts thereof falling on the seal table could result in a breach of the pressure boundar3 Review by the NSSS Supplier has confirmed the FMS restraints are inadequate for the seismic loads postulated for a seismic event.
SAFETY IMPLICATION In the event the condition had remained undet'cted, e the potential exists for a small break loss of coolant accident.
CORRECTIVE ACTION A detailed analysis has been performed which indicates adequate restraint can be provided for the FMS. Currently, the Supplier is reviewing comments to the proposed modifications provided by site engineering. The resolution of these comments and actual modifications to the FMS are expected to be completed March 31, 1986.

DOCKET NO. 50-445 THERM 0 LAG ON CONDUIT SUPPORT SDAR: CP-85-42 (INTERIM REPORT)
Dear Mr. Johnson:
On September 20, 1985, we verbally notified your Mr. T. F. Westerman of a deficiency involving the possible adverse effect of the substitution of rectangular and oversized pre-formed sections of thermolag on conduit installations. Our latest report, logged TXX-4806, was submitted on May 16, 1986. We are reporting this issue under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e) and the required information follows.
DESCRIPTION Thermolag fire protective coating was installed on Unit 1, Class IE Electrical conduit Raceways consistent with FSAR and Regulatory Guide 1.120, Revision 1.
In the original design, fire protection weight was assumed considering a round configuration of thermolag material around conduits. However, to facilitate adequate coverage of field run conduits, thermolag in square configurations has been substituted in some locations. Without engineering verification to determine if square shapes were enveloped by the design assumptions, field verifications have been conducted to provide as-built information regarding thermolag size and shape installations. This data has been evaluated and l resulted in the identification of several instances of excessive loading of-conduit and inadequate conduit support. In these-instances, the stresses are l in. excess of allowable due to conduit couplings installed between supports.
t This issue is being evaluated under CPRT Program Plan DSAP VIII and is limited to Unit 1 electrical conduit raceways and supports.
SAFETY IMPLICATIONS Failure of seismic category conduits and conduit supports could result in an inability of associated safety-related systems to perform, as required, for safe operation and shutdown.

A DEVIS10N OF TEXAS UTTLETTES ELECTRIC COMPANY
TXX-5043 9/26/86 Page 1 of 2 ATTACHMENT SEISMIC QUALIFICATION OF HVAC SUPPORTS DESCRIPTION During a program review of documentation by Site Engineering, discrepancies were found in Unit I and Common HVAC duct support documents provided by the supplier (Bahnson). The discrepancies involved inconsistencies between as-built support drawings, actual installed conditions, and the seismic qualification calculations. The validity of the seismic qualification report could not be determined, pending further investigations.
In order to resolve this issue, a program of as-built verification inspections and engineering evaluations of selected Seismic Category I duct supports was initiated. Duct layout and support configuration inspections were conducted to obtain the actual as-built information needed to perform engineering evaluations of the supports. The engineering evaluations were performed to determine the qualification status of the installed duct supports and to identify potentially safety significant concerns.
Field verifications (as-built walkdowns) to obtain duct layout, duct support, and duct-to-support attachment details commenced in April 1986. Due to deviations in the as-built verification program for the duct supports as detected by TUGC0 QC surveillance activities, that portion of the as-built program was suspended in July 1986. This suspension of activities did not affect the field verification of duct layout and duct-to-support attachment details.
The as-built verification effort (based on the duct support sample in Unit I and Common which had been completed prior to the work suspension as well as the verified duct-to-support attachment details) has indicated numerous
. construction deviations from the intended design and/or the absence of design information for attachment details.
l Initial engineering evaluations of the limited sample have indicated that I although the specific design criteria may not be met as a result of the differences between as-built and as-designed conditions, the supports would not fail. Thus, no deficiencies have been identified to date which, had they remained uncorrected, could have adversely affected the safe operation of the HVAC supports.
However, these results to date are inconclusive because (a) the sample of supports upon which these results are based is too limited and (b) more detailed engineering evaluations may show that the original design criteria are met even with the construction deviations.
Because of the differences identified to date between as-built and as-designed HVAC supports, we have determined that a one hundred~ percent (100%) as-built effort is appropriate. This effort will be undertaken including a comprehensive design verification effort. Further engineering evaluations of the sample conducted to date have been superseded by the revised program l
described as " Corrective Action."
The scope of field verification, construction deviations from intended design, technical evaluation, and resulting rework, if any, is of a magnitude such that this issue is being reported under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e).

SUMMARY
QE EVENTS:
Date Discovered: December 20, 1985, per engineering documentation review Date NRC Notified as Potentially Reportable: December 20, 1985 Interim Reports to the NRC: January 20, 1986, February 28, 1986, and June 18, 1986 Date Reported: September 26, 1986 SAFETY IMPLICATIONS:
No definitive conclusions can be drawn on the safety of the HVAC supports in the event the differences between as-built and as-designed conditions had remained undetected. The limited engineering evaluation to date indicates no adverse effect on safe operation of the HVAC supports. The corrective actions
- discussed below will ensure that the HVAC system will operate safely.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
The following corrective measures are being implemented to resolve this issue:
. 1. The project organization and responsibilities for Unit I and Common HVAC activities have been realigned. Engineering and QC activities previously performed by Bahnson have been assumed by Ebasco and TUGCO, respectively.
The field verification effort has been expanded to encompass all 2.
Unit I and Common Seismic Category I duct supports.
- 3. Engineering evaluations will be performed to ensure compliance with j FSAR commitments.
f
- 4. Construction rework will be performed, as deemed necessary, by the engineering evaluations of field verified information to assure compliance with FSAR criteria for the affected supports.
- 5. To assure Unit 2 installations comply with prescribed requirements, Unit 2 HVAC supports will be field verified. The as-built effort will be conducted by Bahnson, with QC verification by TUGCO. Ebasco has been given responsibility for the adequacy of the as-built verification effort and design.
The revised project organization is scheduled to be formally established by September 29, 1986. The revised field verification, engineering evaluation, and rework (if required) program is currently scheduled for completion by May 1, 1987, for Unit I and September 1, 1987, for Unit 2.
In light of the extended schedule for completion of these activities, progress reports will be periodically submitted. Our next report will be submitted November 20, 1986.

Although original pump requiremente were reduced, corollary FSAR and craf t technical specification revisions have also been properly issued and approved. -The current system design has been found to satisfy the FSAR requirements and is capable of. performing its intended. safety function.
Had the deficiency remained uncorrected, it could not have adversely affected the safety of operations. Therefore, this issue is not reportable under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e). Records supporting this aeter-Emination are available for your inspectors to review at the CPSES site.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Johnson:
i On January 13, 1986, we verbally notified your Mr. T. F. Westerman of a deficiency regarding the placement of Richmond inserts in the proximity of loaded embedded plates which could compromise the structural integrity of adjacent shear cones. This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e). We have submitted interim reports logged TXX-4700 and TXX-4919 dated February 12, 1986, and July 18, 1986, respectively.
Prior to March 3,1986, design and installation requirements did not identify minimum spacing requirements between loaded Richmond inserts and loaded embedded steel plates. As a result, conditions could exist in which the attached item (s) could have overlapping shear concrete cones and exceed the local structural design loading values. Our evaluation has revealed similar conditions exist for the spacing between Hilti bolts and loaded embedded plates. The scope of thir. evaluation is being expanded to encompass these conditions.
To prevent recurrence, specification 2323-SS-30, " Structural Embedments," has been revised and Construction Procedure Instruction CEI-20 is being revised to clarify concrete anchor-spacing criteria. Construction procedure CCP-45,
- " Permanent and Temporary Attachments to Embedded Weld Plt.tes," has been ;
revised to clarify installation criteria and construction attributes. Quality l Control Procedure QI-QP-11.14-13, " Separation Verification of Attachments to 1 Loaded Embedded Plates," has been developed to address the inspection of l attachments to embedded plates and spacing requirements for welded attachments,. loaded Hilti bolts, and Richmond inserts. This procedure will also address the inspection of previous and in-process installations.
4 d
< t- TXX-6031 October 20, 1986 Page 2 Due to the revised scope of this issue, the identification (through field verification and subsequent evaluation) of Unit 1 installations involving the spacing of anchors / attachments is, scheduled for completion by January 16, 1987. In Unit 2, the Wall Embedments and Beams (WEB) program will provide identification and analysis of all embedded plate attachments. A plan for the reinspection of existing Unit 2 embedded plate attachments is in development.
We anticipate submitting our next report no later than February 6,1987.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On April 11, 1986 we verbally notified you of a reportable item involving weld failure and coating degradation in the Service Water System (see TXX-4762).
i This is a follow-up supplemental report on a reportable item under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e).
Our inspections of the Train "A" Service Water Piping have been completed revealing no generic failures of the Plasite coatings. Several pitted areas were identified for which repair was warranted. Other areas containing minor defects, iiot warranting repair, were identified and will be used as baseline data for future inspections.
Several design modifications are currently being implemented on Train "A" which are currently scheduled for completion by November 7,1986. Train "A" will be held out of service until these actions are complete. The inspection of Train "B" will not be started until Train "A" is returned to service. This inspection will require two months to complete. Therefore, corrective measures which may be required for Train "B" are scheduled for completion by January 15, 1987.
We anticipate completing our evaluation of the corrective action and submitting our next report by January 30, 1987.

ATTACHMENT
, M SERVICE WATER SYSTEM LEAKAGE DESCRIPTION AND CORRECTIVE ACTION The-following is a description and corrective action for weld failure and coeting degradation deficiencies associated with the Station Service Water System.
The repeated weld failure in the vicinity of ISW-026 is caused from vibration fatigue. The lumped mass of instrument isolation valve ISW-026 is excited from flow induc'ed vibration at flow control valve ISW-022 and restricting orifice CPI-SWORFR-05. The short nipple connecting the valve and orifice flange has little flexibility and is a stress riser. The corrective action will be to lengthen the connected pipe nipple to add flexibility and thereby eliminate the stress riser.
In relation to the weld at the junction of 24-SW-003-150-3 and 1-SW-1 021-150-3, and the weld in the vicinity of valve ISW-023, it was established that erosion-corrosion associated with the cavitation across valve ISW-023 created the weld and pipe failure. In order to eliminate the erosion-corrosion concerns, the carbon steel pipe spool downstream of valve ISW-023 will be replaced with a flanged 316 stainless steel spool.
Field weld 10A in stainless steel line 2-SW-1-302-150-3 has been radiographed and an_ ultrasonic _ test performed on the surrounding area. The test results showed several small indentations existing in the pipe wall and a small cylindrical hole existing within its vicinity. A complete failure analysis will be performed on the weld when Train B is out of-service. The expected completion date of this analysis is June 1986. This weld has been temporarily patched to reduce water spray.
In regard to deterioration of the plastic coating, the piping will be repaired or recoated as necessary using a Belzona lining. The exact extent of the lining repair in Train A will be established from the recently completed lining inspection of Train A. The remaining portion of the Unit 1 SW system piping will be inspected when Train B is out of service. Any required corrective action will be identified and documented by July, 1986.
SUMMARY
OF EVENTS Date Discovered: December 26, 1985 Date NRC Notified as Potentially Reportable: January 24, 1986 Date Determined Reportable: April 11, 1986 SAFETY IMPLICATION Normally pipe coating failure or corrosion are not considered a safety lisue. The periodic in-service inspection of the class 3 piping would detect any ! ass of integrity of the piping. However, due to the significant erosion-corrosion associated with the cavitation across valve 1SW-023 and rapid loss of integrity of the piping, these deficiencies should be considered as reportable, pursuant to 10CFR50.55(e).

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On February 27, 1986, we verbally notified your Mr. T. F. Westerman of a deficiency involving attachments at, or in close proximity to, design gaps between secondary walls and adjacent walls / floors. This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provision of 10CFR50.55(e). Our last interim report was logged TXX-4923, dated July 21, 1986.
Evaluation of this issue involves three activities. Initially, the engineering contractors charged with design responsibility for the vcrious installed commodities (i.e. conduits, HVAC, cable tray hangers) will evaluate incorporation of a generic displacement for horizontal and vertical movements.
These displacement values will be further refined by Gibbs & Hill for installations for which the generic value is determined not acceptable. The final activity involved in the evaluation of this deficiency will consist of field verification to identify potentially unacceptable interactions between installations.
The results of these efforts will provide the information required to assess the significance of this issue. All efforts are currently underway except the field verifications scheduled to begin in mid-October 1986. We anticipate submitting our next report by November 24, 1986.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
4-On March 5,1986, we verbally notified your Mr. T. F. Westerman of a deficiency involving a computer entry error which could invalidate portions of the jet impingement load review for high energy piping. This'is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e).
Our latest interim report, logged TXX-4890, was submitted on July 3,1986.
, As previously noted, we have reviewed all component shape factors whose jet loads were calculated using the PIPSCIN jet load program. There are approximately 15 components remaining to be evaluated for non-conservative jet loads from the originally identified group of 1,353. Completion of this evaluation is currently scheduled for October 31, 1986. All component shape factors evaluated to date have been verified to be acceptable.
At this time, 306 of these 355 components have been reevaluated and found to be acceptable as is. Evaluation of the remaining components with non-conservative jet loads is. scheduled for completion by October 31, 1986.
We are continuing our evaluation and anticipate submitting our next report no 4

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On March :,, 1986, we verbally notified your Mr. T. F. 'aesterman of a deficiency involving a computer entry error which could invalicate cortions of the jet i.mpingement load review for high energy piping. This is an
-interim report of a patentially reportable item uncer the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e). We have submitted interim reports logaed TXX-4753 and TXX-4807, dated April 4, 1986, and May 16, 1986, respectively.
Site engineering has reviewed all component shape factors whose jet loa 3s were calculated using the PIPSCIN jet load program. This revien has concluded that of the 1353 components evaluated using PIPSCIN, 246 have
" shape factors" less than 1.0. Only 174 components may have non-conservative jet loads. A complete review-of these targets has begun and is scheduled to be completed by June 13, 1986.
We are-continuing our evaluation and ant-icipate submitting-our next report by July 3, 1986.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On May.21, 1986, we notified you that the issue involving difficulties in starting and operating the safety chilled water chiller units was reportable under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e). We have submitted supplemental reports logged TXX-4875 and TXX-4934, dated June 26, 1986, and July 24, 1986, respectively.
Currently, the cognizant engineering contractor, Gibbs & Hill is performing a detailed review of vendor specifications and updating the list of components serviced by the component cooling water system. The supplier (York) has indicated the installation of chiller flcw control valves will resolve deficiencies with an operating safety chiller, but.an evaluation is required (and underway) to review this modification with regards to a standby, non-operating safety chiller which must start during an accident scenario.
Westinghouse is being contracted to evaluate the impact of the 400F CCW temperature on'NSSS components. Our final conclusions concerning this issue l
will be based upon receipt of the information from these vendors.
We are continuing our' evaluation and anticipate submitting our next report by December 17, 1986.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On March 21, 1986, we notified you of a reportable item involving the installation of steam service pressure transmitters (see TXX-4824). This is a follow-up interim report to status the corrective actions for a reportable item'under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e).
As specified in the previous response, engineering has evaluated all Unit 1 and 2 steam service installations to identify additional instruments which are mounted above their root valves without wet legs. During the redesign process
, for the pressure instruments mounted above the steam line root valves, an additional concern was encountered which affects this effort.
This additional concern involves a potential change in the criteria for layout and/or support design due to post-accident elevated temperatures which may affect the tubing for these main steam instruments. An integrated design approach which will address both concerns is being pursued.
We anticipate submitting our next report on this issue no later than January

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On March 24, 1986, we verbally notified your Mr. T.F. Westerman of a deficiency involving possible discrepancies in vendor (Raychem) methodology for testing of environmental qualification which may render the Raychem Kit NPKS-02-01 unacceptable for specific published applications. This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provision of 10CFR50.55(e). We have submitted interim reports logged TXX-4772, TXX-4830, and TXX-4913, dated April 23, 1985, May 28, 1986, and July 16, 1986, respectively.
The specific deficiency involves a heat shrink kit used for in-line butt-splices. The kit consists of two inner sleeves which are enclosed by an outer sleeve. When overlapped at the butt-splice, the effective outside diameter of the inner sleeves is greater than the specified useful range of the outer sleeve. Raychem has indicated the condition is the result of an earlier design deficiency in which the American Wire Gauge (AWG) standard was used to size the outer sleeves as opposed to specifying a kit-specific outside diameter.
Discussions with the supplier indicate the Raychem design deficiency has been corrected and CPSES applications of the kit have been specifically qualified.
Receipt and review of reporting documentation is scheduled for completion on September 5, 1986.
We are continuing our evaluation and anticipate submitting our next report by September 26, 1986.

DOCKET NO. 50-445 STIFFNESS VALUES FOR CLASS 1 STRESS ANALYSIS SDAR: CP-86-33 (FINAL REPORT)
Dear Mr. Johnson:
On April 29, 1986, we verbally notified your Mr. T. F. Westerman of a deficiency involving the use of incorrect pipe support stiffness values in the Unit 1 Class 1 pipe stress analyses. We have submitted interim reports logged TXX-4831 and TXX-4976, dated May 28, 1986, and August 22, 1986, respectively.
We are reporting this issue under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e) and the required information follows.
DESCRIPTION As identified during the CPSES pipe support requalification effort, incorrect stiffness values were used in the Unit 1 Class 1 piping stress analyses.
Review of the ongoing requalification prograta has indicated that approximately 30% of the existing pipe supports are overstressed or require modification primarily due to load increases. The factors contributing to increased support loads include support optimization, revised damping values, trapeze modifications, and possibly stiffness.
As a result of these conditions, all stress problems are currently scheduled for reanalysis. The recalculation of a stress analysis to specifically isolate the effects of stiffness or any other attribute would require multiple iterations. These iterations are costly and unproductive, and therefore will not be performed.
SAFETY IMPLICATIONS In the event the deficiency had remained undetected, the integrity of the Class 1 piping and supports could not be assured during normal operating or accident conditions.

DOCKET NOS. 50-445 AND 50-446 i LARGE BORE PIPING AND SUPPORTS SDAR: CP-86-36 (INTERIM REPORT) 3
Dear Mr. Johnson:
On June 9, 1986, we notified you of a reportable item involving the scope of plant modifications resulting from the project's pipe support reverification
, program (see TXX-4844). This is a follow-up interim report on a reportable item under the provision of 10CFR50.55(e). We have submitted interim reports i logged TXX-4958 and TXX-5033, dated August 13, 1986, and September 26, 1986, respectively.
In order to provide more accurate results and scheduling information, the
, scope of this issue has been revised to delete small bore (2" and less) ASME Class 2 and 3 piping and supports that are not part of the large bore or Class
- 1 stress problems. An additional reportable ites - identified as SDAR CP 72, Small Bore Piping and Supports - has been issued to encompass these scope i deletions (see TXX-6042).
i The continuing engineering evaluation for large bore piping and supports has identified the following additional instances which are considered reportable pursuant to 10CFR50.55(e). These instances are within modification category 4
" Cumulative Effects" and are further defined as follows:
- 1. Fluid Transients:
, Original design activities considered the effects of fluid transients in only three systems. During the requalification
! program, additional systems have been identified and analyzed wherein the effects of fluid transients have resulted in increased pipe support loads. Modifications of these supports will be l required.
i
- 2. Support Stability:
Original design requirements for specific support types did not l include adequate provisions to assure support stability.
Specifically, measures were not provided to preclude axial movement or rotation of the piping to an " unqualified position". An
" unqualified position" results from movement or drifting of the support to a position other than that assumed in the piping stress analysis.
4 omsaw or m4: enunas sucrar comemur
J -
TXX-6044 October 17, 1986 '
Page 2 of 2 4 Specific support types affected by this condition include:
a) "Zero" clearance box frames supported by struts,
, b) long column-strut supports, and
' c) U-bolts on single struts or snubbers exhibiting overstress.
- 3. General Cumulative Effects:
During the requalification program, all stress problems and supports have been scheduled for re-analysis and evaluation. Pipe support modifications have been required as a result of the cumulative effects of the multiple design issues. Multiple iterations would be required to isolate the effects of any specific design attribute.
These iterations are costly and therefore will not be performed.-
Specific issues contributing to these cumulative effects can be categorized as follows.
a) Generic stiffness b) Axial rotational restraints.
c) Support mass d) Mass point spacing
. e) High frequency mass participation f) Fluid transients g) Support load increases due to support optimization.
l The attached list shows the support modifications initiated to date. The evaluation of this issue is continuing. We anticipate submitting our next report by December 1, 1986.

, PIPE SUDPORTS DESCRIPTION The issue involves the project's pipe support reverification program being conducted by Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation (SWEC). This program employs an expanded set of design and installation criteria for tne evaluation of the structural adequacy of existing installations.
While the primary scope of SWEC's work is to provide technical verifications, modification of certain pipe supports will provide expedient acceotance for the expanded requirements. Initial results indicate support modifications are categorized as follows:
- 1. Prudent. Acceptance by physical modification versus analysis. Supports in this category may be technically acceptable; however, more time and expense would be involved than that required to physically modify the support and qualify the modification.
- 2. Recent NRC and Industry recommended practice. Modifications implemented to eliminate snubbers to enhance plant maintainability, reduce in-service inspection, and minimize wor.ker, exposure (operating plant conditions).
- 3. Adjustment. Minor modifications (such as re-torquing or shimming) implemented to meet more rigorous installation criteria contained in the resolution of the external source technical issues.
- 4. Cumulative effects. Modifications that may be required due to the combined effect of multiple issues.
The scope of plant modifications resulting from this reverification program is of a magnitude such that it was considered potentially reportable under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e).
The issue is applicable to Units I and 2 and involves all, safety class piping systems.
The engineering evaluation to date has identified one instance which is reportable. On the seismic evaluation of stress problem 1-045T, for the chemical volume and control system (CVCS), the SWEC requalification has indicated an overstress condition. The cause for the condition was the use of inappropriate response spectra in the previous Gibbs and Hill piping analysis.
SUMMARY
OF EVENTS Date NRC Notified as Fotentially Reportable: May 9, 1986.
Date Determined Reportable: June 9, 1986.
SAFETY IMPLICATION The overstress condition in the CVCS, stress problem 1045T, were it to have remained uncorrected, could have adversely affected the safety of operation of the plant in the event of an earthquake.
AIIALHPtNT
, PIPE SUPPORTS continggd COPRECTIVE ACTION Corrective action is to add sufficient additional supports to relieve the overstress problem. Appropriate spectra will continue to be used for all stress problems in the requalification program, as was being used when the condition was identified.
In addition to the above, the support modifications initiated to date, by
, category as listed in the description section of this report, are as follows.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On May 27, 1986, we verbally notified your Mr. T. F. Westerman of a deficiency involving the failure of project procedures to adequately address the installation and inspection criteria for cable runs used as device pigtail extensions. This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provision of 10CFR50.55(e). We have submitted interim reports logged TXX-4873 and TXX-4925, dated June 26, 1985, and July 21, 1986, respectively.
The analysis noted in our previous response to determine the impact of the lack of traceability of pigtail extensions has been concluded by Gibbs & Hill.
Currently, field verifications are scheduled to begin in mid-October 1985 to identify the location of existing pigtail extensions. Using this as-built data, an evaluation will be performed to review the specific significance of this issue.
We are continuing our evaluation and anticipate submitting our next report by December 17, 1986.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On May 27, 1986, we verbally notified your Mr. T. F. Westerman of a deficier.cy involving dimensional tolerances of the shims used in conjunction with C-Type clamps on cable trays. This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provision of 10CFR50.55(e). We have submitted an interim report logged TXX-4874, dated June 26, 1986.
Original design requirements specified shim plates when utilized with "C" type clamps to be flush with the tray web and extend a maximum of 1/2" beyond the outside of the web. This requirement provides shimming under the full width of the tray flange. .
Due to an error in transferring information from the original design change to the erection and inspection drawing, the shim plate was given a tolerance of plus or minus 1/2" from the tray web. This allowed the shim plate to be installed up to 1/2" inward from the web underneath the tray flange. As a result, some unacceptable clamp / shim configurations could have been installed and accepted.
To address this issue, a study has been conducted which indicates that local stresses in the tray flange near the "C" clamp, due to the maximum anticipated loading conditions, are less than the allowable plastic limits given in the CPSES FSAR except for the T. J. Cope 4" x 12" tray section. Further evaluations are required for the T. J. Cope 4" x 12" tray to establish the correlation between the limiting acceptable seismic "g" values and the
, expected specific response accelerations. The limiting seismic accelerations of concern are in the direction perpendicular to the tray plan, i. e. for the horizontal trays, it is in the direction of the natural gravity - downward.
A testing program has been initiated to evaluate the T. J. Cope 4" x 12" tray / clamp configuration. It is anticipated that this testing will be complete by November, 1986.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On June 4,1986, we verbally notified your Mr. I. Barnes of a deficiency involving Class IE I&C cabinet power supply breakers. This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e).
We have submitted interim reports logged TXX-4886 and TXX-4945, dated June 27, 1986, and July 30, 1986, respectively.
Various Class IE I&C cabinets had a deficiency where a fault in one DC power supply could cause the common feeder to trip resulting in the loss of both DC power supplies. However, the control function would still be maintained through the redundant train 80P or NSSS 7300 analog cabinets. Therefore, this is not a significant deficiency in the final equipment design and there is no breakdown in the QA Program. However, the panel board circuit breaker rating was increased to ensure proper coordination with the power supply circuit breaker. This ' corrective action did not require any major change in design, extensive evaluation, or significant rework.- No adverse conditions exist.
l The issue is not reportable under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e). Records i supporting this determination are available for your inspectors to review at the CPSES site.

Dear ,
Mr. Johnson:__ _ , , , _ , ,
On June 5,1986,' we verbally notified your Mr. I. Barnes of a deficiency l involving the design / construction requirements for minimum separation of welded attachments to embedded strip plates which were not- properly reflected in inspection procedures. This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e). We have submitted .
interim reports logged TXX-4892 and TXX-4978, dated July 3,1986, and August
!. 22, 1986, respectively.
During the course of this evaluation one additional related concern was noted.
Existing quality control instructions did not delineate criteria for the separation between loaded embedded plates and Hilti anchor bolts. Therefore, the scope of this evaluation has been expanded to encompass this issue.
To prevent recurrence of this condition, the following action has been formulated. Specification 2323-SS-30, " Structural Embedments," has been revised and Civil Engineering's instruction CEI-20 is being revised to clarify concrete anchor spacing criteria. Construction procedure CCP-45, " Permanent and Temporary Attachments to Embedded Wald Plates," has been revised to clarify installation criteria and construction attributes. Quality Control Procedure QI-QP-II.14-13, " Separation Verification of Attachments to Loaded
. Embedded Plates," has been developed to address the inspection of attachments
,to embedded plates and spacing requirements for welded attachments,. loaded Hilti'boits, and Richmond inserts. This procedure will also address the inspection of previous and in-process installations.
Due to the revised scope of this issue, the identification (through field verification and subsequent evaluation) of installations in Unit 1 involving the spacing of anchors / attachments is scheduled for completion by January 16, 1987. In Unit 2, the Wall Embedments and Beams (WEB) program will provide identification and analysis of all embedded plate attachments. A plan for the reinspection of existing Unit 2. embedded plate attachments is in development.

This is an interim report of a potentially. reportable item under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e). We have submitted an interim report logged TXX-4892, dated July 3,1986.
A preliminary evaluation has been conducted in Unit 1 by Engineering to determine the approximate scope of embedded plate welded attachment spacing violations. It was determined out of approximately 800 embedded plate attachments,113 violations exist. TUGC0 QC will perform a backfit inspection to determine the as-built condition on all embedded plates for Unit 1. The inspection results will identify and document all embedded plates with attachment violations. The Structural Embedment Group (SEG) will then l evaluate the violations for acceptability. In Unit 2 the Wall Embedments and Beams (WEB) Program will track and analyze all embedded plate attachments.
We are continuing our evaluation and anticipate submitting our next report by October 20, 1986.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On June 6,1986, we verbally. notified your Mr. T. F. Westerman of a possible deficiency involving the interaction of non-seismic Category I structures and components with seismic Category I structures. This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provision of 10CFR50.55(e). We have submitted interim reports logged TXX-4893 and TXX-4979 dated July 3,1986, and August 22, 1986, respectively.
The primary means at CPSES of ensuring that non-seismic Category I equipment does not affect seismic Category I equipment is to ensure that the non-seismic Category I equipment is properly mounted and anchored. This practice is common throughout the industry and was the intent of our FSAR commitment. It is also consistent with the conclusions of the NRC staff in NUREG 1030,
" Seismic Qualification of Equipment in Operating Nuclear Power Plants." We are examining our commitment and practices in detail to ensure that they are clear, precise, and provide adequate assurance of safety.
We anticipate submitting our next report by December 3, 1986.

G0ULD BATTERY RACKS TRANSVERSE BRACING SDAR: CP-86-46 (INTERIM REPORT)
Dear Mr. Johnson:
On June 11, 1986, we verbally notified your Mr. C. Hale of a deficiency involving a design change to vendor supplied equipment being made without formal evaluation by the vendor. We have submitted interim reports logged TXX-4900 and TXX-5002, dated July 11, 1986 and September 5, 1986, respectively. We are reporting this issue under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e) and the required information follows.
DESCRIPTION l During preparation of a Unit 2 design change in 1983 involving vendor supplied equipment, conversations with the vendor (Gould) indicated the proposed change was acceptable pending evaluation of the final design change. Subsequent.
review of the design change indicates formal evaluation by TUGC0 has not been completed and was not scheduled for submittal to the vendor for formal review / approval.
The specific issue identified involves a design change revising the transverse bracing mounting bolt design from a two (2) bolt to a one (1) bolt configuration. An independent review and analysis of the one (1) bolt configuration has concluded a two (2) bolt connection is required to insure adequate strength and avoid excess eccentricity. The one bolt connection could yield under seismic loads and cause loss of the transverse bracing allowing the battery racks to become unstable. This could result in collapse of the racks. This applies to all Class IE battery racks in Units I and 2.
SAFETY IMPLICATIONS In the event the deficiency had remained undetected, the structural integrity of the battery racks could not be assured thereby affecting all. associated safety systems dependent upon DC power.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On June 16, 1986, we verbally notified your Mr. C. Hale of a deficiency involving a generic design concern with the qualification of fire barrier seals supplied by BISCO. We have submitted an interim report logged TXX-4915, dated July.16, 1986. We received an extension in submitting this report from your Mr. T. Westerman until September 10, 1986.
The specific issue involves two (2) blockout fire stops which were installed in a larger-than-tested configuration, although one had been removed prior to inspection. The issue was identified during a comparison of the existing electrical blockout fire seals and test data submitted by BISCO. Engineering
'has reviewed the current design testing program and procedures submitted by.
BISCO to qualify the electrical block design. The deficiency could not have adversely affected the safe operation of the plant if it had remained undetected. Therefore we have concluded this situation is not reportable under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e). Records supporting this determination are available for your inspectors to review at the CPSES site.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On July 25, 1986, we verbally notified your Mr. I. Barnes of a deficiency involving the seismic design of conduit. We have submitted an interim report
- logged TXX-4982, dated August 22, 1986. We are reporting this issue under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e) and the required infcrmation follows.
l DESCRIPTION l During performance of the Unit 2 conduit structural analysis, a deficient
! design condition was observed involving the support of electrical conduit.
l The specific condition occurs when the conduit changes direction and
- i. terminates in an airdrop and no support is provided between the change in
! ~ direction and the airdrops.
In the event a coupling is installed prior to the change in direction, the unsupported portion of the conduit may result in a torsional moment on the coupling during a seismic event. The inability of the coupling to resist the torsional moment could result in excessive motions at the free end of the conduit which would be resisted only by the cable. The cable or cable terminations have not been designed for.these loading conditions.
Analysis and evaluation of these conditions have determined that couplings on unsupported airdrops could rotate causing damage to the cables. This issue is applicable to certain Unit 1 & 2 unsupported airdrops on A and B Train conduits, and C Train conduits over 2 inches in diameter.
SAFETY IMPLICATIONS In the event the deficiency had remained undetected, this condition could have adversely affected the ability of safety-related systems to perform as required for safe operation and shutdown during a seismic event.

On July 25, 1986, we verbally notified your Mr. I. Barnes of a deficiency involving the seismic design of. conduit. This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e).
This deficiency occurs whenever a conduit changes direction and terminates in an airdrop with no support provided between the change in direction and the airdrop and a coupling is present prior to the change. During a seismic event, the unsupported portion of the conduit places a torsional moment at the coupling. The inability of the coupling to resist the torsional moment may result in significant motions at the free end of the conduit which would be resisted by the cable. The cable has not been designed for the loads imposed '
by such motion.
EBASCO is presently evaluating a test program to test the ability of adhesives, applied -after the conduit was installed, to resist torsional l
moments. We are continuing our evaluation and anticipate submitting our next report by October 21, 1986.

TXX-6007 October 3, 1986 Page 2 DESCRIPTION Regulatory Guide 1.29 and the FSAR Section 3.78.2.8 specifies that Category II and non-seismic components should be designed in such a manner that failure will not adversely affect the functions of safety-related components or cause injury to operators.
During evaluation by the NRC Technical Review Team (TRT), the seismic design of the ceiling elements installed in the control room was investigated. The following matrix was provided to identify the ceiling elements and associated seismic designation:
(1) Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning - Seismic Category I (2) Safety-Related Conduits - Seismic Category I (3) Nonsafety-Related Conduits - Seismic Category II (4) Lighting Fixtures - Seismic Category II (5) Sloping Suspended Drywall Ceiling - Non-Seismic (6) Acoustical Suspended Ceiling - Non-Seismic (7) ~ Louvered Suspended Ceiling - Non-Seismic For non-seismic items other than the sloping suspended drywall ceiling, and for nonsafety-related conduits of a diameter of two inches or less, no evidence could be produced confirming that the possible effects of a failure of these items had been considered.
A separate reportable deficiency pursuant to 10CFR50.55(e), SDAR-CP-85-36, was issued on September 6.1985 to specifically address two-inch diameter and smaller non-seismic conduit.
SAFETY IMPLICATIONS In the event the condition had remained undetected, a failure of the control room ceiling elements could adversely affect safety-related systems, components, and operator actions under accident conditions.
CORRECTIVE ACTION The control room ceiling has been removed and a seismically-qualified ceiling is being installed. The construction of the new ceiling is scheduled for completion November 1, 1986.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On August 14, 1986 we verbally notified your Mr. I. Barnes of a potential deficiency involving the fastening of the standby diesel generator engine's connecting rod assembly. On September 12, 1986 we verbally requested and received an extension from your Mr. D. M. Hunnicutt in submitting the written report until September 19, 1986.
The connecting rods involved were identified by the Transamerica Delaval Inc.
(TDI) Diesel Generator Owners Group as a component which had significant known problems that were potentially generic. Based on the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (contracted by the NRC) and the TDI Owners Group findings, it was concluded that the connecting rod assemblies were acceptable for use at Comanche Peak provided that certain preservice and maintenance inspections i
were performed.
! The Unit 1 preservice inspections have been completed and the Unit 2 preservice inspection will be part of the Phase 1 Design Review / Quality Revalidation effort. The maintenance inspections have been identified in the CPSES Maintenance and Surveillance Program. Based on the engineering reviews noted above and the completed inspections, it was concluded that the potential deficiency identified by TDI does not exist at CPSES.
We have completed our evaluation and concluded this issue is not reportable pursuant to the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e).

DOCKET NO. 50-445 REINFORCING STEEL IN UNIT 1 REACTOR ~ CAVITY WALL SDAR: CP-86-57-(FINAL REPORT)
Dear Mr. Johnson:
On' August 29, 1986, we verbally notified your Mr. T. F. Westerman of a deficiency involving the reinforcing steel in the Unit I reactor cavity wall.
Specifically, additional reinforcing steel for the wall wa specified and deleted through subsequent drawing revisions without supporting design i
calculations. We have ' submitted an interim report logged TXX-5050, dated .
September 29, 1986.
The concrete placement of the reactor cavity wall between elevations 812'-0" and 819'-0 1/2" was constructed in accordance with Revision 2 of drawing 2323-51-0572. Subsequently, Revision 3 of the drawing required additional reinforcing steel. The additional reinforcing steel was specified
- (based upon engineering judgement) to minimize the possibility of cracking.
I Specific calculations justifying the adequacy of the wall, without the additional reinforcing steel shown in Revision 3, were not generated because the design was restored to conditions specified per Revision 2 of the drawing.
i Subsequently, additional calculations have been generated which demonstrate that the omission of the additional reinforcing does not impair the structural integrity of the reactor cavity wall, and the as-built reinforcement i configuration is adequate.

We have concluded that in the event the condition had remained undetected, no !
condition adverse to safety would exist. The issue is not reportable under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e). Records supporting these conclusions are available for your inspectors to review at the CPSES project site.

DOCKET NOS. 50-445 AND 50-446 POLAR CRANE GIRDER AND GIRDER SUPPORT SHIM GAPS SDAR: CP-86-60 (INTERIM REPORT)
Dear Mr. Johnson:
On September 4,1986 we verbally notified your Mr. I. Barnes of a deficiency in~volving gaps between the polar crane girder and the girder support brackets.
This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e).
- The allowable gap tolerance in the girder seat connection is not addressed in
. project specifications. Guidance provided by the cognizant engineering contractor' stated the " seated connection will not require shimming since the
. bearing area is at least the width of the bottom flange of the crane girder."
l Nine_ girders have been observed involving gaps which extend under the bottom 1
flange which have reduced the bearing surface to less than the 20 inch flange i width.
Preliminary-investigations have indicated that code allowable limits for bearing stress at the girder seats may be exceeded under at least one of the postulated load combinations. However, the determination of the effect upon the safe operation of the plant is being finalized. This evaluation is scheduled for completion by October 31, 1986.
In order to obtain an expeditious resolution of this issue, we have elected to i
shim the gaps and' provide full bearing surface at the girder seats rather than proceeding with the extensive analysis and performing inspections to determine the adequacy of the existing condition. A Design Change Authorization (DCA) document has been prepared to provide for the additional shimming of all polar
- crane girder supports in Unit 1. The DCA is currently scheduled to be released by December 5,1986. Design requirements established as a result of this evaluation will. also be applied to the Unit 2 polar crane girder supports.

DOCKET NOS. 50-445 AND 50-446 POLAR CRANE SUPPORT STRUCTURE SDAR: CP-86-62 (INTERIM REPORT)
Dear Mr. Johnson:
On September 4,1986, we verbally notified your Mr. I. Barnes of a deficiency involving a misinterpretation of the polar crane load cases. We are reporting this issue under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e) and the required information follows.
DESCRIPTION The load cases provided by the crane supplier (KRANCO) in the interface load drawing were not properly considered in the design of the supporting structure. As a result, the design does not consider the load case of the horizontal load acting simultaneously with the uplift of the crane. The adequacy of the polar crane support structure was considered indeterminate pending further analysis.
The cognizant engineering contractor has evaluated this issue and determined that the welds connecting the bottom flange of the girder and sole plate at the girder seat must be increased and the crane rail hold down clips must be replaced with heavier clips.
SAFETY IMPLICATION In the event that the interface loading containing the horizontal load acting simultaneously with vertical uplift load had remained undetected, it could have adversely affected safety related structures, systems and components in the containment.
CORRECTIVE ACTION Design Change Authorizations (DCAs) have been prepared for Unit I to provide for weld modifications at the girder seat and for replacing existing rail clips with stronger clips. The schedule for implementation will be established no later than December 5, 1986.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
On September 26, 1986, we verbally notified your Mr. Ian Barnes of a potential deficiency regarding the design calculations and tests used to qualify the Pre-operational Piping Vibration Program. This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e).
A TUGCo review of the CPSES criteria document " Pre-operational Vibration Test Program", Issue 1, June,1980, indicated that the mathematical formulas used to determine stress endurance limits, allowabla deflection limits, and flexibility characteristics of certain piping systems may not have been accurate.
All vibration calculations and test results are being evaluated to verify the validity of the calculations in accordance with established TUGCo procedures.
We anticipate completing our review and verification process by December 3, 1986. Our next report will be submitted no later than December 19, 1986.

DOCKET NOS. 50-445 AND 50-446 SMALL BORE PIPING AND SUPPORTS SDAR: CP-86-72 (INTERIM REPORT)
Dear Mr. Johnson:
On June 6,1986, we notified you of a reportable item involving the scope of plant modifications resulting from the project's pipe support reverification program (see TXX-4844). This issue was being tracked under SDAR CP-86-36, Pipe Supports. We are dividing this issue into two parts to segregate small bore piping and supports from large bore piping and supports. SDAR CP-86-36 will become "Large Bore Piping and Supports", and SDAR CP-86-72 is "Small Bore Piping and Supports".
The scope of SDAR CP-86-72 includes Unit I and 2 small bore (2" and under)
ASME class 2 and 3 piping and supports that are not part of large bore or class I stress problems which are covered in SDAR CP-86-36. Interim reports will include a tabulation by category of piping or support modifications as follows:
l) Prudent. Acceptance by physical modification versus analysis. Supports in this category may be technically acceptable; however, more time and expense would be involved than that required to physically modify the
- support and qualify the modification.
a
~
- 2) Recent NRC and Industry recommended practice. Modifications implemented to eliminate snubbers to enhance a plant maintainability, reduce in-service inspection, and minimize worker exposure (operating plant conditions).
. 3) Adjustment. Minor modifications (such as re-torquing or shimming)
! implemented to meet more rigorous installation criteria contained in the resolution of the external source technical issues.
- 4) Cumulative effects. Modifications that may be required due to the combined effect of multiple issues.
